Abstract
Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy dietary practices have been frequently increasing the
occurrence of overweight and obesity day by day. A diet containing fruits and
vegetables may help in ameliorating these conditions. Broccoli is known to be an
essential vegetable globally. It contains both macro- nutrients and micro-nutrients as
well as rich in glucosinolates, phenolic compounds, and its breakdown products
sulforaphane and indole. Based upon its nutrient composition broccoli can be used as a
therapeutic agent against overweight and obesity.
